Why Not Mother?
Discuss (7)When we refer to G‑d’s presence within our world, giving life to all things, then She is the Shechinah.
When we refer to G‑d’s transcendence beyond this world, we call Him “The Holy One, blessed be He.”
In our prayers, we take the role of the Shechinah petitioning the Holy One, blessed be He.
Our mitzvahs, study and prayer unite these two aspects of G‑d into a perfect whole. This is the meaning of the phrase, “On that day, G‑d will be One and His name will be One.”

in my mind, personally, it's all ONE that i can't help praying to - the part of G-d here, and the trancendent G-d, Blessed be He.

The two integral parts, Feminine/Shechina and Male/He.
The role of the three pillars of faith: Mitzvot, Torah study and prayer.
What still remains a bit of a mystery is the Lecha Dodi line: " Come, my Beloved, to meet the Bride; let us welcome the Shabbat. "
For the time being, i'll guess that Beloved is the masculine aspect and He is joining with His Bride, feminine aspect and these two aspects greet the Sabbath. Like i said, it's a guess.
Regards.
Does this mean that only by leaving us only with Shechinas presence, He, blessed be He, can evaluate our deeds?
Does this mean that is mostly to Shechinah, blessed be He/She, that we have to deal in our mundane struggles, being with Him mostly only in the month of Elul untill Sukkot, when He is at the camp to receive overtly us all (except for these few hours between eve and the sounding of Shofar in Rosh HaShanah)?
